Baloncesto Fuenlabrada becomes Partizan de Fuenlabrada in historic partnership

The Spanish club changes its name as part of a comprehensive collaboration with Partizan Belgrade, 35 years after the Serbian club played its home European Cup games in Fuenlabrada

Partizan de Fuenlabrada is born

Baloncesto Fuenlabrada is now Partizan de Fuenlabrada, marking a historic new step in the relationship between the Spanish club and Partizan Belgrade.

The new name represents the culmination of a 35-year partnership that began when Partizan played its home games in Fuenlabrada during the 1991/92 European Cup due to the war in the former Yugoslavia.

That season, Partizan went on to win the European title, creating a unique bond between the Serbian club, Fuenlabrada and the wider Madrid region.

A partnership across multiple areas

The new Partizan de Fuenlabrada is a joint project between the two clubs, covering the institutional, sporting, social, business and branding areas.

The relationship that began when Fuenlabrada welcomed Partizan as its own team during the war has continued throughout the decades and has intensified significantly in recent years.

That long-standing collaboration has now evolved into a deeper form of integration, resulting in Fuenlabrada adopting the Partizan name.

35 years of shared history

The two clubs’ shared history goes beyond the success achieved on the court in 1992.

The relationship is built around brotherhood, sporting values, solidarity, shared success, resilience and gratitude.

Fuenlabrada’s role in providing Partizan with a home during a difficult period created a connection that has remained strong for 35 years.

Now, that connection has entered a new chapter with the creation of Partizan de Fuenlabrada.

Player development and brand projects already underway

Several joint initiatives are already being developed, including projects focused on player development, institutional cooperation and brand enhancement.

According to the club, these initiatives are expected to generate growth across multiple areas for the new Partizan de Fuenlabrada.
